The annual demand for a product is 16,400 units. The weekly demand is 315 units with a standard deviation of 90 units. The cost

to place an order is $31.00, and the time from ordering to receipt is four weeks. The annual inventory carrying cost is $0.20 per unit.
a. Find the reorder point necessary to provide a 95 percent service probability.
b. Suppose the production manager is asked to reduce the safety stock of this item by 55 percent. If she does so, what will the new service probability be?

Answer:

a) The reorder point necessary to provide a 95 percent service probability is 1557 units.

b) The Z value of 0.74 corresponds to 77% service probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average weekly demand (d) = 315 units

The standard deviation of weekly demand (\sigmad) = 90 units

Lead time (L) = 4 weeks

At 95% service level value of Z = 1.65

Reorder point = d x L + safety stock

$= d \times L + (Z \times \sigma d \times \sqrt L)\\\\= 315 x 4 + (1.65 x 90 x \sqrt 4)\\\\= 1260 +(1.65 x 90 x 2)\\\\= 1260 + 297\\\\= 1557 units$

b) Earlier the safety stock was 297 units(calculated in part a)

Now the safety stock is reduced to 55%.so,55% of 297 = 163.35 units

So the new safety stock = 297 - 163.35 = 133.65

$Safety stock = Z \times \sigma d \times \sqrt L\\133.65 = Z x 90 x 2\\133.65 = 180Z\\ Z = 133.65/180\\Z = 0.74$

The Z value of 0.74 corresponds to 77% service probability.

What is the slope of the line? Explain how you calculated the slope in the graph going through the points (-6,-3) and (-2,-8).

horsena [70]

Answer:

$\frac{-5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula so y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 [the numbers are subscripts]

So -8 - (-3) / -2 - (-6) so -8+3/-2+6, therefore -5/4

Given: LMNP is a square A, B midpoints of LM and PN Q ∈ AB m∠LPQ = 45° Find: m∠PQN

lisov135 [29]

Since A and B are the midpoints of ML and NP, we can say that AB is parallel to MN and LP. In order to find ∠PQN, we can work with the triangles PQB and NQB. According to SAS (Side-Angle-Side) principle, these triangles are congruent. BQ is a common side for these triangles and NB=BP and the angle between those sides is 90°, i.e, ∠NBQ=∠PBQ=90°. After finding that these triangles are equal, we can say that ∠BNQ is 45°. From here, we easily find <span>∠PQN. It is 180 - (</span>∠QNP + ∠NPQ) = 180 - 90 = 90°

PLZ HELP ME WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

nadezda [96]

Answer:

1. $2 \times 10^{- 4} = 2 \div 10^{4}$

2. $(- 10)^{2} = 100$ and $- 10^{2} = - 100$

3. $(a.b.c. ........)^{n} = a^{n}.b^{n}.c^{n}. ..........$

Example: $(30)^{4} = (2 \times 3 \times 5)^{4} = 2^{4} \times 3^{4} \times 5^{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We have $2 \times 10^{- 4}$ , and we have to prove that this term is equivalent to $2 \div 10^{4}$ .

Now, $2 \times 10^{- 4}$

= $2 \times \frac{1}{10^{4} }$

{Since we know the property of exponent as $a^{- b} = \frac{1}{a^{b} }$ }

= $\frac{2}{10^{4} }$

= $2 \div 10^{4}$

2. $(- 10)^{2} = (- 10) \times (- 10) = 100$ and

$- 10^{2} = - [(10) \times (10)] = - 100$

3. The power of products property gives

$(a.b.c. ........)^{n} = a^{n}.b^{n}.c^{n}. ..........$ ........ (1)

For example, we can write, $(30)^{4} = (2 \times 3 \times 5)^{4} = 2^{4} \times 3^{4} \times 5^{4} = 810000$
